IT IS NEVER TOO LATE TO GO DEEPER INTO UNDERSTANDING THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF STEAKS,
HOW TO COOK THE FINEST STEAK?
OUR CHEF ELIJAS SHARES SOME MAIN TIPS FOR MAKING A MEDIUM-WELL STEAK AT HOME:
FILET MIGNON STEAK WILL NEED 10-12 MINUTES: EACH SIDE TAKES 4-5 MINUTES ON A PAN, OR ABOUT 7 MINUTES IN A PREHEATED OVEN.
RIB EYE WILL TAKE 10-12 MINUTES: PRESS A BIT EACH SIDE ON A WELL PREHEATED PAN WITH A TOUCH OF BUTTER FOR ABOUT 2 MINUTES, AND 6-8 MINUTES MORE IN A 180°C OVEN.
NEW YORK STRIP WILL ASK FOR 12-15 MINUTES: 2 MINUTES FOR EACH SIDE ON A PAN, AND 8-10 MINUTES MORE IN AN OVEN.
T-BONE IS COOKED FOR AROUND 15-45 MINUTES.: 7 MINUTES FOR ONE SIDE ON A PAN, AND THEN 5 MINUTES MORE FOR THE OTHER. PLACE THE STEAK ONTO A CLEAN SURFACE AND COVER IT IN A TENT OF ALUMINUM FOIL. LET THE T-BONE STEAK REST FOR FIVE MINUTES. OTHERWISE, YOU CAN ROAST IT IN AN OVEN AFTERWARDS FOR AROUND 30 MINUTES FOR SOME SLOW COOKING.
IMPORTANT! AFTER TAKING OUT OF A FRIDGE, MEAT SHOULD SIT IN A ROOM TEMPERATURE FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES. IF YOU USE FROZEN STEAKS – UNFREEZE THEM IN A FRIDGE BEFORE TURNING YOUR STOVE ON. AND DO NOT REMEMBER TO PAT YOUR PRECOOKED STEAK DOWN WITH A PAPER TOWEL BEFORE SEASONING IT!
